Habitat for Humanity of Boone County

What Habitat for Humanity of Boone County does

Habitat for Humanity of Boone County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 35-1620989) headquartered at 10650 Andrade Drive, Zionsville, Indiana, operating as an independent affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International since 1984. The organization builds affordable homes in Boone County through a sweat-equity partnership model in which low-income families contribute labor alongside community volunteers, supplemented by an exterior Home Repair Program for income-qualifying existing homeowners (power washing, painting, siding, gutters, accessibility ramps on a sliding-scale basis). It runs a sustained program portfolio that includes the ReStore discount retail store (new and used building materials, furniture, appliances, and home goods at 30–70% below retail) and an online ReStore storefront on ThriftCart, plus recurring fundraising vehicles: the Hope Builders monthly giving program ($10–$200 tiers), the Annual Appeal, Women Build team fundraising (33 teams in 2025, scaling to 36 in 2026 in the Grace Fields neighborhood of Whitestown), and a Community of Faith Build partnered with local congregations and corporate sponsors.

The organization's revenue is generated across five streams: ReStore sales, monetary donations (one-time, monthly, and annual), vehicle donations through the Cars for Homes program (operated with Advanced Remarketing Services and recognized three consecutive years by Forbes Advisor), in-kind corporate gifts of building materials and professional services, and planned giving (bequests, charitable gift annuities, retirement beneficiary designations). The technology stack is operational rather than differentiated: Giveffect handles donor CRM, campaigns, and volunteer coordination; ThriftCart powers the online ReStore; Google Meet supports virtual homeowner orientation; ReSupply enables scheduled donation pickups; and Kroger Community Rewards (code LW115) provides passive recurring revenue. Per its volunteer agreement, the affiliate is independently owned and operated, not controlled by Habitat International, and is led by Executive Director Liz Qua with a 9-person staff.

The addressable market is Boone County, Indiana, where the affiliate has cumulatively built 70 homes, helped over 200 adults and children, and invested more than $6 million since 1984. Mission-relevant scale metrics include 1,400 tons of material diverted from landfill since 2018 through ReStore operations, and three consecutive Forbes Advisor "Best Vehicle Donation Program" awards. Core partnerships span Habitat for Humanity International (brand and frameworks), faith communities and corporate sponsors (Faith Build), Fidelity Investments (stock donations), Advanced Remarketing Services (vehicle logistics), ReSupply (donation pickups), and Kroger (community rewards).

• Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana: Operates a nonprofit retail/social-enterprise model (thrift stores) where retail revenue funds mission programs. Directly comparable as a fellow Indiana-based social enterprise using donated goods retail to underwrite workforce and community programs.

• The Salvation Army Indiana: Major faith-based social services organization operating in Indiana with fundraising (Red Kettle), thrift retail, and family services. Comparable as a multi-channel nonprofit that blends donation, retail, and direct service delivery.
